Title: Electroacoustic transducer and electronic device using the same
Inventor: FUKUYAMA TAKANORI
IPC: H04R9/02
Filed: 2005-06-17
Abstract: An electro-acoustic converter includes an magnetic circuit, a frame connected to the magnetic circuit, a diaphragm connected to the periphery of the frame, a voice coil, a terminal, and a holder covering the frame. The voice coil is connected to the diaphragm and a part of it is arranged in the magnetic gap of the magnetic circuit. The terminal is made of a metal plate having spring characteristic and conductivity. The terminal electrically connects the external circuit with the voice coil by utilizing the spring pressure when the metal plate is bent. The holder constitutes a stopper regulating the bending of the metal plate constituting the terminal within a reversible limit value of the metal material.

Title: Lng regasification configurations and methods
Inventor: NEUMANN RALPH
IPC: F25J3/00
Filed: 2005-06-27
Abstract: LNG composition of LNG from a storage tank or other source is modified in a process in which the LNG is pumped to a first pressure and split into two portions. One portion of the pressurized LNG is then reduced in pressure and heavier components are separated from the reduced pressure LNG to thereby form a lean LNG. The lean LNG is then pumped to a higher pressure and combined with the other portion to form a leaner LNG. Preferably, separation is performed using a demethanizer, wherein part of the demethanizer overhead product is condensed to form the lean LNG, while another portion is used for column reflux. In further preferred configurations, ethane recovery is variable and in yet other configurations, propane or ethane can be delivered via a batching pipeline.

Inventor: WAGNER GEORG
IPC: E01C9/00
Filed: 2005-09-01
Abstract: The invention relates to a tree grille system for covering tree grates. Said system consists of grille sections (1), which are interconnected by couplings (7) to form a self-supporting tree grille. The couplings (7) consist of two fixed coupling parts (8) configured on the grille sections (1) and a coupling part (9) that can be inserted between the other parts and then rotated into a locking position. An arc-shaped rib (18) is configured on the underside of the fixed coupling parts (8), the outer peripheral face (21) of said rib being configured as a ramp-type clamping surface (23). One section of said surface (23) is provided with undulating fluting (24). When the displaceable coupling part (9) is rotated into the locking position, teeth (34) that are formed on said part slide over the fluting (24), causing the displaceable coupling part (9) to be locked by a friction and positive fit in the locking position.  Inserts (40), which can be introduced into two cavities (35) of the displaceable coupling part (9), comprise a pin (41) that projects outwards and engages in one of several arched bores (42) of the fixed coupling parts (8).  This permits a more secure, positive-fit locking position to be achieved for the displaceable coupling part (9).

Title: Golf skill development and practice device
Inventor: MORRISON WILLIAM
IPC: A63B69/36
Filed: 2007-07-31
Abstract: An apparatus for developing and practicing golf skills that is readily portable and which can be used in relatively restricted or confined areas is provided. The apparatus includes a shot indicator mounted on a vertical shaft which is caused to rise on the vertical shaft during use as indicator of the effectiveness of the shot in terms of distance of flight which would have been attained by a golf ball if driven by a blow of equal force and direction. The shot indicator is caused to rise on the vertical shaft by a user hitting a target which is laterally spaced from the vertical shaft. A target support is rotatably attached to the vertical shaft at one end and supports the target at an opposite end. Rotation of the target support releases a compression spring which acts on the shot indicator causing it to rise on the vertical shaft.

Patent CA-2599089-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MORRIS DAVID C
IPC: F03B17/06
Filed: 2007-08-27
Abstract: A system and method for harvesting the kinetic energy of a fluid flow for power generation with a vertically oriented, aerodynamic wing structure comprising one or more airfoil elements pivotably attached to a mast. When activated by the moving fluid stream, the wing structure oscillates back and forth, generating lift first in one direction then in the opposite direction. This oscillating movement is converted to unidirectional rotational movement in order to provide motive power to an electricity generator. Unlike other oscillating devices, this device is designed to harvest the maximum aerodynamic lift forces available for a given oscillation cycle. Because the system is not subjected to the same intense forces and stresses as turbine systems, it can be constructed less expensively, reducing the cost of electricity generation. The system can be grouped in more compact clusters, be less evident in the landscape, and present reduced risk to avian species.

Title: Power savings in hierarchically coded modulation
Inventor: WALKER KENT G
IPC: H04L27/34
Filed: 2006-03-31
Abstract: A wireless communication apparatus in a hierarchically coded modulation system can use error control mechanisms generated during decoding of base layer information to predict a probability of successful demodulation of enhancement layer information. Performance in the demodulation of the base layer correlates to performance in the demodulation of the enhancement layer. The receiver can determine whether to attempt demodulation of temporally correlated enhancement layer data based in part on the predicted probability of success. If the receiver determines not to demodulate the enhancement layer, the receiver can power down the enhancement layer demodulator, or otherwise minimize the power expended in the enhancement layer demodulator.
